So while it was disappointing to not find ANY #SamSho or #KOFXV matches last night (What are you even doing, Europe), playing tower in #GGST with actually decent ping was pretty nice
Could FEEL the rust in the gears though, got immediately knocked back from Floor 8 to 6 (stayed on 7). But then it just kind of started settling in and I rose back to 7 just as quick
Outing myself here but I remember ranked in League being all stress. In fighting games, it's jut super fun #FGC
There's an immediacy in the reward for getting bopped by a Giovanna, then figuring out how they like pressuring with Trovão and how to respond to it and immediately proceed to absolutely destroy them while they get on the back foot trying to adapt to your mixes instead
You feel like you're learning all the time and it's so satisfying
@VileLasagna true!! it's also part of what i like about skill-based matchmaking - it's more engaging because i get to play people who are learning and adapting at the same pace i am
who do you play?
@filenine I've been playing Potemkin for forever, the grappler love is forever. But I actually started on Basket. Bought Strive because she was out, actually, used to like him in XX, though she's a very different character now
At one point I got mad at weight class dependent combos and embraced hugs, but been kind of wanting to pick Budget back up, she's super satisfying too =3
@VileLasagna potemkin...
in strive i started with chipp, then sol, and now i'm playing axl. i like characters with long normals
@filenine Axl is a struggle as Potemkin. More reason to have a pocket Brisket? =P
And yeah, big normals are a good time. As someone who abuse those as a lot, can't complain. Potemkin has some nasty ones =3
